It is truly amazing to see the different people God places in your life. Over the years I’ve known some very different types of people with varying personalities, but after having a job and then coming to college, I’ve never been more shocked by the people I’ve encountered.
In high school, I feel like we are all exposed to the same generic people. While, yes, they are still unique, the exposure in a high school is just barely even a sample of all the different people in the world.
In my first semester in college, I’ve learned an incredible amount about people and the impact they can have on a life. Of course, the college experience is known for providing the most attractive temptations, which almost always have an undesirable end result. But, while those temptations are definitely present, I’ve discovered an entirely new influence on my life since coming to college.
I’ve often wondered, even from the very beginning of the semester, what on Earth I was doing at Arkansas State University; there didn’t seem to be much that interested me here, and I fought so hard for so long to go to a different school. But, clearly, in the end I made the decision to attend ASU; and as I’ve been struggling through my firs semester, I’ve decided: if there is no other reason why I’m at Arkansas State, it is for the purpose of meeting some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met.
It took a little time, but I’ve gotten to know some amazing people this semester, which is such a blessing. Even when I’m stressing about school and trying to convince myself that it isn’t all a waste, I think about the fact that if I weren’t here, I wouldn’t have the privilege to know the people who have helped me maintain my sanity this first semester. I am extremely blessed to have so many great friends who influence my life in the most positive way.
You know who you are!
Peace and Blessings, loves.
